tranZForm - ZF Global Trainee Program

The ZF Global Trainee Program offers a variety of development opportunities through exciting local and international projects. The 15-month program begins each year in July or October and will allow you to gain invaluable experience with the world’s leading technology group.

With your application, you will be selected for a target area that will be your focus for the duration of the program. Together with your target department, you will decide which individual projects suit you best in order to prepare you for the defined target position.

Through continuous mentoring, your individual needs are considered so that you can develop, reflect on your learning, and gain confidence in your selected career path.

The ZF Global Trainee Program consists of several elements that effectively target your personality and skill development. This will be accomplished through:

• A joint team project where you will master challenging tasks with other trainees and present your results to the ZF Board of Management.
• A project abroad where you’ll increase your intercultural skills and gain international experience.
• An assignment on a production line where you’ll think outside of the box, and various training will expand your knowledge.

Individual elements and mentoring will move you forward in a targeted manner and lay the foundation for long-term success at ZF – no matter what career path you later choose: as a team leader, technical expert, or project manager.
